Bloor Street re-made for bicycles, not parking — Yonge and Roxborough News
The City has issued a news release saying it will conduct a data-driven monitor of the new Bloor Street bike lanes. They run from Shaw St. to Avenue Road. The release says this will be done with lots of input from the U of T. “Multi-model video traffic counts and GPS-tracked travel-time analysis” and “parking data by the Toronto Parking Authority” are mentioned. Economic impact will be measured by “the Toronto Centre for Active Transportation in partnership with the University of Toronto, local Business Improvement Areas and the Metcalf Foundation”. The release has a lot of bicycle-happy spin from Joe Cressy (Ward 20). He vows it will be a “win-win for everyone”. Let’s hope so.
